Abstract

This paper emphasizes on the application of the biosynthesized silver nanoparticles for removal of pollutants from wastewater. An ecofriendly and low-cost technology developed in treating the wastewater. The biosynthesized nanoparticles are impregnated on activated carbon prepared from a tamarind shell agricultural waste. The activated carbon was characterized for different parameters like, moisture content, bulk density, ash content, methylene adsorption and impregnated with biosynthesized silver nanoparticles. The impregnated activated carbon was analyzed using scanning Electron Microscope for the pore size and impregnation. The prepared material was packed in the column and used for treating the wastewater. The wastewater was analyzed for Physico-Chemical Parameters before and after treatment. After treatment of wastewater the physico-chemical parameter values reduced drastically. More than 70 % reduction was observed in pollution parameters (physico-chemical. It is concluded that, the treatment process is quite efficient and can be modified and scaled up for further to increase the efficiency of treatment process.
